When the womenrun all the newspapers, they can take'their revenge. But perhaps they willbe too magnanimous to do so.London Truth criticises the severityof the law in dealing with suicides andquotes cases which have their parallelin America. It tells of a man namedBullock, who pleaded guilty In courtof an attempt at suicide. A charge ofembezzlement had been made againsthim, which turned out to be unjustifiedand which was ultimately withdrawnAt the time he was 111 and worried, andwhen a policeman went to arrest himhe shot himself in the head with a revolver. When Bullock had been discharged from the hospital he wasplaced on trial for attempted suicide.He had lost the use of his right eye asthe result of his temporary insanity,and his counsel urged that under thecircumstances mercy and leniencewould be justified. The Judge answered the appeal by observing that" theprisoner has brought all the troubleupon himself," and he sentenced himto three months' hard labor. Truth istrying to secure the pardon of the manfrom the Home Secretary. Anothercase is that of a man who has beenkept In jail three months awaitingtrial on the charge of cutting his ownthroat It may be necessary that thelaw should provide penalties for an attempt to commit suicide, and thesepenalties may deter some who wouldotherwise commit suicide; like the manwho was prevented from taking poisonby his friend, who threatened to shoothim If he did not drop the bottle of arsenic. Yet a trial and sentence to Imprisonment for attempted suicide canhardly have the effect of reconcilingthe punished man to life. It would bebetter if he were made to feel that thestate wanted him to live and wouldgive him a chance to get out of histroubles.In these days of high-tensioned living, when one is always mentally quoting to one's friends: "All the world isqueer except you and me, and you're alittle queer," such an article as J. MBuckley's "How to Safeguard OneSanity,' In the Century Magazine, istimely and acceptable. He says thatthe widespread belief that persons ofpowerful Intellect are more liable thanothers to go mad is an erroneous one,In fact the opposite is true. "A largenumber, actually and relatively, of thinsane consists of the more Ignorantclasses of farm laborers, artisans, sailors, soldiers, and persons without employment. Hard-working farmers ofthe poorer class, and especially theirwives, living remote from towns, having little variety in life, reading little,conversing nnd thinking in the sameruts, furnish a large proportion of suchcases." Tí r-reserve a sound mind insound body one must, says the writer,observe the laws of health with regardto food, exercise and sleep. Few become insane, who, with sufficient mental occupation, daily take two or threehours of vigorous exercise in the openair, and do not protract exciting studies or business far into the night "Theobservance of one day in seven bycomplete change In subjects of thoughtand the suspension of modes of activIty required for six days, would bephilosophical, even though It bad nobasis In religion." Other foes to sanitythat the doctor mentions are anxiety,exaggerated sensitiveness, and the lackf occupation that great wealth makepossible. The best prescription for Insomnia dates, he says, from the time olSolomon: "The sleep of a laboringman is sweet, whether he eat little 01much; but the abundance of the richwill not suffer him to sleep." These araold truths that long ago men grapplec?to their souls with steel hooks, but thegrapplings have become weak and itis well to see to it that they are tightened. At no time in the history of Englishletters has punctuation had less to dothan" now In clarifying expression. Inthe first place, this is the era of theshort sentence. Again, the comma IsIn process of elimination. In the history of printing the comma was thefirst point of punctuation to be evolved.Greeks before the time of Christ hadfound punctuation necessary, but itwas in an early translation of the Biblethat the comma first was used. Afterother characters had come the commafound new and relative uses. Twentyfive years ago the school text book ouEnglish grammar insisted on the use ofof the comma to mark the least of rhetorical pauses, in addition to setting offevery phrase and clause with the samemark. This, simply in recognition ofthe fact that the tendency to misusethe comma had resulted in an Englishthat was unintelligible without thispunctuation point The comma hadput a premium on slovenliness. A sentence could be started blindly, thewriter depending upon the comma tolink phrase to clause and lead the read-.er through the tangled maze of his verbiage. He emphasized, modified, colored and phrased where he was confident that the comma would mark theway to the end. To-day, however, thereis a distinct disposition on the part ofprintshops to economize In the use ofthe comma. Already this dispositionis having Its effect on current literature. While It has a tendency to shorten sentences, it has a still greater mission in forcing clearer sentences. Inthis elimination of the comma the modern newspaper has taken a lead. As arule, Its favored style admits of thecomma only where It Is a sharp necessity. Thus the newspaper writer aboveall others cannot depend upon the comma to point his meaning. Realizingthis he writes to avoid it The resultis that adverbs, adjectives, phrases andall forms of modifiers are in closest relation to. the parts of speech which theyaffect, leaving a sentence so clear thathe who runs may read." Whatevermay be said of the degeneracy of modern literature no one will deny that thewritten language of to-day is clearerthan It ever was before. Nobody willdeny that some of enshrined classics, If .stripped of slovenly commas, would beunintelligible. Not only has the comma'degenerated, but the italicized point of ;a witticism; the slovenly brackets, theoverworked quotation marks, and the.lazy dash, all are reduced to the occa-:slon of strictest necessity. All this has 'made for better English.Bridging of the Difficulty.A lady had issued invitations for adinner of twelve, and on the morningof the appointed day, when conferringwith her footman, she discovered thatone of the twelve silver shells In whichscalloped oysters were to be served hadbeen misplaced. Rigid search for themissing article having proved unavailing the lady decided that, sooner thangive up that course, she would simplydecline oysters when they were handed to her, and so the eleven shellswould be sufficientIt happened that when the oysterswere served at dinner the hostess wasengaged in a very animated conversation with some of her neighbors, and,forgetting her determination, she tookone of the shells of oysters and set itbefore herself.If the servant's heart fell In consternation at this he gave no external signof it, but, speaking in tones distinctthough low, said respectfully: "Excuse me, madam, but you said I was toremind you that the doctor forbade youeating oysters."

A number of refugees have arrived here from China onthe steamer Hongkong Maru. Amongthem are Dr. P. C. Leslie of Montreal,Dr. C. H.

Skinner and two children andDr.H. G. Welpton from China. Dr. Leslie, who has no less than fifteenwounds, on his body as a result of hisencounter with the Chinese, tells thefollowing story: '"When the news was received fromthe north by a special messenger thatthe various Consols had ordered alltheir people out of China immediately,the following party started from themission in Honan: Mr. and Mrs. M. M.McKenzie and child, Mr. and Mrs. J.Goforth and four children, J. Griffith,T. C. Hood, Miss M. J. Mcintosh, MissDr. J. J. Dow, Miss M. A. Pyke, Mr.and Mrs. J. A. Simmon and child. Mr.and Mrs. R. A. Mitchell, Dr. and Mrs.P. C. Leslie, and three American engineers, Messrs. Jamieson, Reid, andFisher, and myself."About the tenth day of our journey,we were suddenly attacked by two orthree hundred yelling Chinese robbers.The day before a part of our littleforce had gone from us originally withthe intention of securing a military escort from some of the local Chineseofficials. Those who had left us wereMr. and Mrs. J. A. Simmons, with theirlittle child, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Mitcheland the three American engineers. Outof the eleven left there were only fivemen, and among us five there wereonly three revolvers."The two or three hundred Chineseat first made a furious attack upon us,bringing our carts to a standstill andcompletely surrounding us. Theypelted us with bricks and stones andanything they could lay their handson, at the same time slashing awaywith their swords, those who werethus armed, and yelling all the timeas so many maniacs. We brought ourthree revolvers into play and foughtlike demons to protect the women andchildren."I had one revolver In my righthand. It was a six-shooter. I wantedevery shot to tell. Those who had theother revolvers laid several Chineselow in death before their wpaponswere knocked out of their hands bystones and sword cuts. I killed twoChinese myself, that is, I believe theymust have afterwards died from thewounds I inflicted. But my activefighting was soon brought to a closeby a vicious sword slash by an infuriated Chinese whom I had wounded.He cut me across the right wrist,knocking the pistol from my graspand rendering the arm powerless."Most fortunately for our hardpressed party, just as things were beginning to look hopeless for us, someof the Chinese pounced upon our valuables. It was now evident that theyvalued our belongings more than ourheads. They fell to fighting amongthemselves and robbed us of everything we had- money, personal belongings and all, even going so far as totear off the skirts of the women andcut the buttons off our clothes withtheir swords."I have fifteen wounds as a resultof my encounter with the Chinese. Mywhole body bears souvenirs of thefight. I don't know if I will ever beable to use my rifht hand again. I'mgoing home to Montreal now with mywife. Fortunately, my wife receivedno serious injuries, a few bruises, thatis all; and the other ladies also happily escaped without injury."Rev. Brown Got a Rich Wife.Toledo (O.) Rev. C. O. Brown, whosesensational church trial stirred SanFrancisco a few years ago, is in thecity with Mrs. Brown No. 2. His firstwife petitioned for divorce in Chicagoabout two months ago. The style ofthe case was "Mary Brown vs. CharlesBrown," and the grounds for separation were alleged cruelty.

Brown," and the chargewas changed from cruelty to adultery.The divorce was granted, and Rev.Brown, on August G, married Mrs.Mary 'Malloy, a wealthy and wellknown lady.
